Mastro Livi Grifetto
Mastro Livi Grifetto
Shaving with Mastro Livi Grifetto is always a pleasure. The stainless steel Mastro Livi uses for this blade gives a lovely and velvety feedback while delivering the smoothest and closest shave. I must say I am very proud of this razor also for the fact I suggested the Grifetto name to Mastro Livi as well as the shoulderless design. The olive wood scales add an elegant and beautiful touch to this razor, a tribute to the Umbrian view where olive trees and vineyards are among the most common things you can see in our green hills. Mastro Livi Grifetto, proudly made in Perugia, Umbria. Italy, of course. A land rich in art, history, nice food and wines, monuments and breathtaking views. Not to mention magnificent and impeccable artisan straight razors.

Wow! I have not used Proraso Sandalwood for a while and I forgot just how pleasing the scent is, as well as the performance. The vintage Rubberset Boar whipped up great lather. The Star has got to be the mildest razor in the den, but that does not mean it cannot deliver a great shave. Loaded with a Derby Premium blade, babies and dolphins are all jealous. A little Aubrey Northwoods balm and splash, and it is a great start to the day. Have a blessed day gentlemen.
